I am my own friend
I walk the world in search of a friend,
Crossing myriad paths with countless strangers
Who were embalmed in hype
Yet to find a stranger totally independent,
Still yet to meet a stranger who looks to the sky and commanded it to rain,
Have not yet met a stranger whose anger quenches a raging fire,
And no stranger's pity brought back the dead,
And no stranger's word ever reached my heart... m
Disappointed, I turned
And walked back home.
I have found no one-
I am my own friend.
Crossing myriad paths with countless strangers
Who were embalmed in hype
Yet to find a stranger totally independent,
Still yet to meet a stranger who looks to the sky and commanded it to rain,
Have not yet met a stranger whose anger quenches a raging fire,
And no stranger's pity brought back the dead,
And no stranger's word ever reached my heart... m
Disappointed, I turned
And walked back home.
I have found no one-
I am my own friend.

The imagery is really good. Could you eloborate a bit more? Also, rework some of your grammar because some of the language is clunky and the consanant usgae takes away from the poem

Thanx for the honest comment, you don't get that too often. I'll iron things out, be back!

I felt this poem right thru my soul. Feel that way most of the time. Come to my lonely corner, I will be your friend.

Haha! I would hop on your friend -ship on one condition, and that is; we would not be friends.
